New 20-Inch Telescope Elevates Embry-Riddle’s Space Physics Program

Apr 18, 2024, 11:20 AM

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University unveiled a new addition to its Physics and Astronomy Department at a ceremony on Monday, April 1, 2024: a new 20-inch Planewave Optics telescope, which will significantly improve the educational and research capabilities at the Prescott Campus .

“The optics for this line of telescopes are spectacular,” said Dr. Noel Richardson, assistant professor of Physics and Astronomy. “These telescopes are being used by professionals throughout the world right now and will allow our students to have a higher-quality education in observational astrophysics.”

A major increase in size over the university’s previous 0.4-meter telescope, the new instrument — to be housed in the campus’s Observatory Complex dome alongside the 0.4-meter device, which will still be operational and available for use — will allow for high-quality and multifaceted observational experiences for students.

The new equipment will provide improved research capabilities for students like Kaitlyn Casciotti, an Astronomy junior who leads the Prescott Observational Team for Analyzing Telescopically Observed Spectra (POTATOS), gathering data on massive stars encircled by hot disks emitting hydrogen as they rotate, known as “Be star” decretion disks.

“The new telescope at the observatory has given us the opportunity to use more modern, automated equipment to collect better data,” said Casciotti. “A larger observatory with better tracking software also increases the amount of data we are able to collect per observing session, leading to better results.”

Richardson added that future student projects are in development focusing on binary systems and how disks will grow and change around hot stars.

“With the older telescope, students are measuring the changes in brightness with time in an eclipsing binary,” explained Richardson. “At the same time, they can measure the spectrum of stars with the new telescope. This tells us how fast the stars are moving around each other to make the full solution for the eclipsing system.”

Long-term plans for the equipment include fully “robotizing,” or programming the telescope to automatically take data depending on local weather measurements, and thus maximize data-collection opportunities.

“While we are able to remotely operate here on campus, robotizing the telescope will allow for data to be taken on any clear night with observations scheduled through a prioritized queue,” said Richardson. “Given the weather in Prescott, and Arizona in general, we can expect many student research projects to utilize the telescope in the future.”

ERAU researchers will launch 3 rockets during April 8 solar eclipse. Here's why.

T he April 8 total solar eclipse stretching from Texas to Maine provides Americans with more than a fleeting perceptible phenomenon.

It's also the setup for science.

Aroh Barjatya, a professor of engineering physics and director of the Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Lab at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Daytona Beach campus, and a team of researchers and students from ERAU and other institutions, will use the occasion to engage in a NASA-funded project called APEP, or Atmospheric Perturbations around Eclipse Path.

They will be working to gain a better understanding of the ionosphere ― part of the Earth's upper atmosphere in a belt that affects radio communications. The ionosphere starts at about 50 miles above the Earth's surface and extends beyond 350 miles, according to NOAA .

The ionosphere is beyond the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is located, as well as other layers. Because of the ionosphere's more direct exposure to the sun, particles from extreme ultraviolet and X-ray solar radiation, as well as cosmic rays, become charged, or ionized.

And because the ionosphere is so high above the Earth's surface, the pull of gravity is weakened, allowing the charged particles to be dynamic and swimming in plasma, the fourth state of matter, after solids, liquids and gasses. Barjatya compares the ionosphere to an ocean, as atmospheric conditions ― thunderstorms, hurricanes, tornadoes, even bombs exploding in Ukraine and Gaza ― can cause perturbations, or disturbances similar to oceanic waves.

"This layer reflects and refracts radio signals and impacts satellite communications as the signals pass through," Barjatya said.

So when people use GPS, perturbations in the ionosphere can affect the quality of the signal. Also, some Ham radio operators can use high-frequency signals to bounce off the ionosphere and reach listeners worldwide, so ionospheric disruptions can impact those communications, as well.

“All satellite communications and GPS-type navigation signals pass through the ionosphere and are affected in different ways depending on the conditions of the plasma there,” student-researcher Nathan Graves said in a university news release. "Thus, being able to understand ionospheric perturbations, model them and predict when they can happen is critically important in a connected society.”

Eclipses, too, can cause these perturbations. And for scientists like Barjatya, the time and location of eclipses are predictable, creating a perfect environment for targeted experiments.

Measuring solar eclipse's effect on ionosphere

In spring 2022, Barjatya and an Embry-Riddle research colleague, Shantanab Debchoudhury, were brainstorming ideas on how to take advantage of a NASA sounding rocket program, "Low Cost Access to Space," through which it launches about 20 rocket missions annually.

NASA had launched sounding rockets during eclipses seven previous times dating back 60 years, and two would occur within two years.

And ERAU's Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Lab has experience launching sounding rockets and already had the design and one payload ready.

"We could design a neat experiment that involved launching three rockets in October 2023 in the annular eclipse, recovering and refurbishing the payload, and launching all three again in April 2024 during the total solar eclipse," Barjatya said.

Plus, Barjatya said: "The 2023 and 2024 eclipses were very close to existing sounding rocket ranges."

White Sands, New Mexico, and Wallops Island, Virginia, are two of NASA's launching sites. Last October, an annular solar eclipse was seen across New Mexico, where the launches were toward the eclipse path. The launches from Virginia's eastern seaboard will be away from the path, giving an additional perspective on how the ionopshere responds to the eclipse.

To collect more data from the ground and to model the findings, Barjatya found collaborators at Johns Hopkins University, Dartmouth College, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Air Force Research Lab in New Mexico.

ERAU students built nine of the 10 instruments that will comprise the rockets' payloads. Dartmouth researchers contributed the other.

What will take place after liftoff

Here's how it will work: Most of the Embry-Riddle team will be at Wallops Island to launch three rockets, each 60 feet high with 18-inch diameters. One will lift off about 45 minutes before the peak local eclipse, the second will go off at peak eclipse and the third 45 minutes later.

The rockets are expected to soar to a height of 260 miles. There, they will open up to allow 10 instruments on board to collect data. They will also eject sub-payloads the size of a two-liter bottle of soda with instruments to collect data, allowing for the capture of 15 data sets at varying times during the eclipse.

The data gathered will measure plasma density, neutral density and magnetic fields. It will be transmitted to the ground using a system built and managed by NASA, Barjatya said.

Simultaneously, one of the ERAU doctoral students will be at White Sands to rerun ground experiments, while other ground-based teams from the Air Force Research Lab and the MIT Haystack Observatory, will gather larger-scale measurements from the ground, using various radar technologies.

Barjatya said the team will also release student-built, high-altitude balloons that will elevate to 19 miles above Earth, to help study lower atmosphere weather changes "and help us detangle how much of the ionosphere dynamics during eclipse could be from ground-based weather changes propagating upwards."

The ionosphere is not easy to study. Perturbations are unpredictable, but the eclipse is the exception.

"We know exactly when and where to launch the rockets to get some guaranteed scientific results. Most ionospheric missions must wait weeks to catch good science conditions to launch into, and sometimes the timing and positioning is still not perfect," Barjatya said. "I am excited by the precise launch timing and ability to comprehensively instrument a rocket platform."

Widening Access for International Education 

• Winner: Northern Arizona University’s Global Citizen Project Scholars To expand access to study abroad for students who have never traveled abroad and demonstrate high financial need, Northern Arizona University designed the Global Citizen Project Scholars (GCPS) program, which uses campus partnerships to build a network of study abroad supporters who pool financial and human resources to offer the program. The goals of GCPS are to make credit-bearing international education economically accessible to all students through a replicable model and provide multidisciplinary learning experiences for students of all majors to practice global citizenship and apply it to their fields.
• Honorable Mention: Florida International University’s COIL Capacity Building Program Florida International University’s Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Capacity Building Program provides comprehensive, accessible, actionable professional development to individuals, institutions, and networks worldwide seeking to start, sustain, and expand equitable and inclusive virtual exchange initiatives. 1,169 educators have participated in FIU COIL Design Workshops and Leadership Institutes alone, yielding hundreds of COIL program programs annually that engage tens of thousands of faculty and students in transformational global learning with diverse international peers. 

Student Mobility & Exchange 

• Winner: Iowa State University’s Virtual Exchange+ Transatlantic Summer School To lower the barriers to international experience for students, Iowa State University created Virtual Exchange+ programs that embed international experiences in existing coursework. Students from the U.S. and German partner institutions meet virtually and work collaboratively during a course or module on a project-based learning experience. The faculty group who created the Virtual Exchange+ program then used their partnership and funding to create a Transatlantic Summer School on Sustainability which will be hosted in Germany and the U.S. on alternate years.
• Honorable Mention: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Real-Life Learning for Unique and Federally Regulated Majors Embry-Riddle recognized that federal aviation regulations tied to some aeronautics and aviation majors were preventing students from participating in study abroad. To fill this gap, they designed their own study abroad programs to provide these students with hands-on experiences that magnify the global breadth of their chosen major. Program activities range from embedding students within Aegean Airlines, using unmanned aerial systems to map historic sites, to obtaining a seaplane rating in Alaska.  

Strategic Partnerships

• Winner: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill & Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen’s Data Science and Society Collaboration Building on a strategic partnership that has existed since 1986, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen have established a joint seed fund to support multidisciplinary research collaborations that engage faculty and students in the topic of data science and society . Their aim is to generate sustained research collaborations that address the urgent and shared challenges of using emerging technologies for the benefit of democratic societies while protecting civil liberties and privacy.
• Honorable Mention: Dickinson College & U.S. Army War College’s Cooperative Scholarship Dickinson College and the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) both support significant international populations in Carlisle, Pennsylvania as USAWC international fellows often bring their families to the U.S. with them. Starting as a grassroots effort, the Cooperative Scholarship uses Dickinson’s existing resources and Multi-lingual Writing Center to fill the needs of the international fellows and their dependents. Through the program, Dickinson can both support the Carlisle community and further internationalize their campus with an infusion of an entirely new international population.  

Models of International Education Financial Support

• Winner: Loyola Marymount University’s Gilman Incentive Grant Loyola Marymount University’s (LMU) Gilman Incentive Grant provides undergraduate students who receive Federal Pell grants a financial incentive to apply for the Gilman Scholarship.

The sprawling, mind-boggling metropolis of Russian Moscow has long been one of the theatrical stages on which the great dramas of Europe and Asia have been played out in grand style. Burned by Napoleon in 1812, immortalised by Tolstoy, utilised by the Bolsheviks and championed as a bastion of heroic defiance by the post-war communists, it’s almost hard to believe just how defining the historical events that found their home on Moscow’s streets have been. Moscow tour guides will easily be able to mark the major must-see landmarks on the map, from the onion-domed orthodox Saint Basil's Cathedral, to the political powerhouse of Red Square just next door, while others will be quick to recommend a ride on Moscow’s famous subterranean metro system, or a visit to the UNESCO-attested Novodevichy Convent on the city’s southern side. But Moscow is a city also in the throes of a cultural wrangling between the old and the new. Creative energies abound here: Boho bars and pumping super clubs now occupy the iconic mega structures of the old USSR; high-fashion outlets, trendy shopping malls and luxurious residential districts stand as testimony to a city that’s now the undisputed playground of the world’s super-rich, while sprawling modern art museums dominate the cultural offering of the downtown districts north of the Moskva River.
